Contribute to COPILANDIA: A Copyright-free Island

Your are invited to participate in COPILANDIA, a public art
intervention sponsored by the Centro de Arte de Sevilla (CAS) for the
arts festival "Sevilla Entre Culturas" [Seville, Between Cultures] in
Sevilla, Spain from December 28, 2005 to January 12, 2006.

COPILANDIA is a copyright-free island, floating on a boat in the Guadalquivir River.
Equipped with art materials, copiers of all media, computers and sound
systems, COPILANDIA will multiply, disseminate and celebrate art that
explores the free exchange of communication "between cultures."

Imagining the dissolution of intellectual property as an art medium,
COPILANDIA is a collective project of cultural recombination that
celebrates the copy and gift economy. As a temporary autonomous zone
in this urban festival, it promotes the transgression of all cultural
frontiers that limit and fetter the free circulation of art and ideas.

Your contribution may take any form (analog or
digital; prints, photos, sculpture, painting, mail art, poetry, music,
video, photography, etc.—jpeg, mp3, PAL formats preferred) as long as
it is portable and easily reproduced (please include a brief bio for
press purposes). All works will be exhibited and
numerous public workshops will set the ship's cargo into motion in
order to inspire the artists and audience to merge together in a
shared, collective experience.

As a participant you will become a member of GRATIS, a collective formed in 1994 by Victoria Gil, Kirby Gookin, Federico Guzmán and Robin Kahn to create Isla Del Copyright (Bilbao, 1995), Copiacabana (Guadiana River, Badajoz 1996) and other copyright free public projects on both sides of the Atlantic.
